Zucchini "spaghetti"
"By way of Michael Chiarello's Bottega, a fun and healthy way to use all that zucchini or other summer squash. You can cut this like spaghetti or like fettuccine. Mix with fresh tomato sauce and fresh basil; or do a creamy sauce and more veg for a "pasta" primavera.."

Can there be any easier more delicious way to make sauteed zucchini? I don't think so! It's funny how the shape of the slices, makes it better. I used my mandoline to make spahetti like strands and followed the recipe. I only had about two pounds of zucchini, and it filled my big skillet, so this recipe make a lot. I added spahetti sauce to the skillet at the end to heat everything together. I didn't have enough, but it still gave some added flavor. Topped with vegan parmesan, and it's tough to beat this dish for healthy, and easy and yum factors!
